I plastic dipped the emblem. I'm not sure I like the black on this color car. I thought I would but it hasn't grown on me as of yet....

 

I have to agree. Silver (is that LP) is one color that really compliments the chrome trim and gunmetal gray wheels. However, this grill looks excellent in darker colored cars, and even white.

However, it doesn't look bad by any means.

 

I honestly think you need to keep the emblem chrome. You don't have any other accents to match and i think it will help the black grill blend better.

 

This^^^ Having the emblem pop rather than hide in the grill would look better IMO, and I think you"ll end up liking the overall look as time goes on.

 

I think the black and silver contrast works. Black rims would make it would even better.

 

Your grill mod looks good! Just fyi, I will be vinyl wrapping all the chrome in the front because I will be doing my roof the same and I have the dark gray rims so the contrast of the 3 colors I think looks good.

 

Would LOVE to see pics. I have a Venetian Ruby Q60S and was thinking about a gloss black wrap on the roof - would love to see yours as a comparison.

 

I used Black Plast-Dip for my OEM glossy grill. Was very easy to do.
I also replaced the small incandescent bulb between the two larger ones, with LED lights to use as daytime running lights.
Added a spoiler and some black vinyl inlays on the wheel spokes. An M35 gear shift **** and it looks like I'm finished with the small amount of things I am able to do that are not expensive.
I passed on the vinyl roof wrap when I saw a Kia with it.

 

I think it'd look really hot if you dipped the rims to match the grill.
